$845 "field watch" meanwhile my $10 digital piece of shit from walmart has traveled the world, been exploded, dropped, submerged, etc and is still working 20-odd years later
I don't get the poor fetish people have developed across "White" social media. Your dollar is devalued almost literally 100%. Your garbage disposable goods are already becoming too expensive for many, such as those actual pressed paperboard and foam ikea couches that now cost a couple grand. Meanwhile an 8-way, hand strung, handmade, down feather, couch - which was relatively common forty years ago - now costs between $7500 and $10,000 for a middle of the road example. Real shit is more expensive than it used to be; not just that it's inherently worth more than common disposable garbage, its that it's a higher quality and took actual man hours to produce. Unlike your cheap, mass produced, chinese unicorn watch. You don't think it's worth it? Okay... Don't buy it. But understand that we might be at war. But we are not in a class struggle. That is AntiFa's argument, remember? There is no Proletariat being oppressed by the Bourgeoisie. There is only the Semitic war against White European Society. Our currency, USD, is in terminal decline. It will fail within the decade. That is inescapable. What you are seeing is a consequence, an externality, of that. But hell, men have forgotten the value of real things or their importance a the societal context; my Omega cost ten times the cost of this Wasson and it is absolutely the most impactful piece of interpersonal kit that I own.
super cool long reply and all, my point isn't that a quality watch is too expensive it was funny to me that they called it a "field watch," as though you were going roughing with it my POS one was purchased for the express purpose of being disposable as i was wearing it in iraq
Super cool is just how I write... I get your response; I'm just saying I pre-ordered this explicitly to be a fuck around timepiece. The movement is good enough; it's swiss made, but there are better Japanese options available at the price point. In the end, I gave them money because I respect their social defiance. When I was in Afghanistan, I wore an early Suunto X-Lander Military, which was probably about the same price then as the Wasson is now. Still have it, in fact. After I got home, I sent it in to Suunto for service and they refurbed it for me at no cost. Patriotism was still kind of a thing then. But I digress, the point is that our perception of value has become misaligned with reality. It's not that everything is critically expensive, it's that our currency has become nearly valueless and as a consumer class, we have become accustomed to a market comprised almost entirely of disposable garbage. Cheap is cheap and while you may have an outlier in your watch - our emergent third world is getting lower quality products with every passing year. This means that quality, no matter where or how it is expressed, will continue to steeply rise in price relative it's market segment. This does not mean it is extravagant, merely that we are becoming that impoverished.

Just placed a pre-order for a Field Automatic to support this kind of cultural defiance.
